HYDROTHERAPY POOL USERS

The Wyndham Leisure and Events Centre's Hydrotherapy Pool is utilised by a variety of community members, all with varying needs.  The Centre recognises this and aims to cater for the variety of people by, providing a pool that's water is maintained at an appropriate temperature and in accordance to the Water Purification Standards for Public Swimming Pools.

 

 

Hydrotherapy Pool Temperature

The Australian Physiotherapy Association's Guidelines for Physiotherapists Working in and/or Managing Hydrotherapy Pools suggests that, 'thermoneutral pool (in which the body neither gains nor loses temperature) may be the most appropriate for Aquatic Physiotherapy techniques'.  Thermoneutral is usually recognised as a "window" of temperature (based on skin temperature) from 33.5 - 34.5 C.  This temperature range is recommended as therapeutically useful for a wide range of conditions treated by physiotherapists in the pool.

 

For this reason the Centre's Hydrotherapy Pool will be maintained at 34 C.  If you have further questions regarding the Hydrotherapy Pool, feel free to ask any one of our Duty Managers at the front reception.
